Robertson got to the ball. Is he then supposed to magically plant his studs into the ground in the fraction of a second that follows prior to Tanganga's shin moving into his path?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, he is supposed to tackle in a way that he is not going to end up with his studs in an opponents shin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficult to see how he could have avoided it in this case. No red.

If you kick a ball, your follow through results in your foot coming up. It’s just a natural movement.
Bizarre that anyone can see that as a lunge imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He endangered an opponent. His studs went in at shin high on a planted foot. He could have done a lot of damage. Only difference between that and Auba is the opponent's ankle was badly damaged. If Taranga's ankle had buckled like Meyer's he probably would have gone.
No one lunged!
It was just a coming together.
I actually watched yesterday’s game with 4 Spurs fans none of them thought it was a red.
Add those to the VAR official, then!

No, his studs came up as part of his follow through. He didn’t challenge with his studs up. He just kicked the ball.
Robertson also thought he was in trouble as he immediately feigned injury to try and distract from the tackle.
Ah, the good old " I was watching it with imaginary friends and they back me up" argument

Did VAR look at either of the TAA tackles?
If no why did they look at the Aubameyang incident in the Palace game and not TAA?
If yes how could neither of those fouls not be at least a yellow card?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which TAA tackles?
Also I really wish people would understand that VAR look at the whole game and the game is only stopped when the ball goes out of play and they want to have a longer look and highlight an a possible error to the referee, which is when it goes up on the screen. If they believe no error was made, they won't highlight it and it won't go up on the screen.
It's been over six months people, ffs you must get it by now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry I meant Robertson I'm still hungover.
I needed alot of lager after watching that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In that case then yes, it did look at them. It decided none were an error from the referee, in terms of a red card.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats astonishing, they just need to ditch VAR the sport was doing just fine without it.

Winnie if you complain to admin one more time I'm afraid I'm going to be forced to filter you.
Just thought you should know because this is how it starts every time. Don't know why you bother replying to all my comments all over the site when it always ends up with you crying to admin for me to be banned.
You're childishly psycho obsessed with me, and while it has been fun, I will be nipping it in the bud simply because you want to give it large and talk fighting words then cry to admin like a little girl. Give it but can't take it.
You can post your hogwash below but consider yourself served.

I’ve no idea what you’re going on about.
But go ahead and filter me. You’re incapable of discussing any subject with derailing the thread and behaving like a child, so your replies won’t be missed - I can discredit your views without those childish comebacks anyway.
Notice how you ignored a well reasoned reply just to argue with the first line? Grow up mate.
I won’t reply to you again on this thread as it’s a decent article and you’ll just ruin it.

Maybe you’re the sort of person who lies on here, I’m not.
Reality is the officials watched a replay and didn’t see it as a red.
Maybe you’ll step back and try to figure out why that was. Maybe you wont.
I can’t offer you any clearer explanation that the ones I have above but if your view is so entrenched that you can’t understand the alternative, even when qualified officials disagree, then that says more about you than anyone else.

So just avoid challenging for the ball then?
I love spurs but some of these comments are as cringe as it gets. Grown adults in denial.
Same posters saying son didn't deserve a red for thrusting his foot at a players face are trying to say robertson deserved a red 😅
When we have to bring in hafi to back us up on expected goals it's time to shut up really....
I didn't see the Robertson tackle tbf. As a rule of thumb, if a player leaves the ground or lunges and dives in to a tackle it should always be a red. Because they're out of control of the end result.
Did Robertson lunge and endanger an opponent?

No, he kicked the ball and as a result, his foot came up.
As that happened, the Spurs player came in and they collided, at which point Robertson withdrew his leg.
Honestly, it is one of those things the more you try to justify it being not red, it looks like red!

I really don’t think you understand what the word ‘lunge’ means?
He actually kicked the ball!
From the replay posted here, it didn't look like a lunge or a dangerous tackle
Oh for god sake it was what’s called, in old money, a 50/50 tackle. Never a red.
